Osinbajo=?

I don't know what Osinbajo mean. I'm not from his state. I'm sure people from his place can tell.

It's very necessary! For one, ur name sounds so un-Nigerian, probably German. Secondly, people tend to treat girls nicely. With the 'f' u can save urself of future harassment.

Thank me later!

Okey then, I will add the 'f'. Thank you so much.

Sorry, I'm only learning. Are Arabic names not Islamic names? For some, I've been told the Islamic translations of these Christian names below:
David - Dauda
Moses - Musa
Solomon - Suleiman
Ishmael - Ismaila
Isaac - Isa
Abraham - Ibrahim, etc

Please tell me if I'm wrong
yes if we are to look at it critically we can see that they are Arabic translations but not really islamic.remember old testament is also included in the quran and these people came to contact with Arabs before christian missionaries so they somehow use the Arabic translations,its the same names you will see in a hausa bible

Ugochukwu means Gods pride. Not Gods grace. God's grace is Ebere Chukwu- Gods grace or Gods mercy
God's grace is not Ebere Chukwu. God's Grace can only mean Amarachukwu.
